Wait wait wait. Lair only sold 57,000 units?! WTH?

I heard that's what they said on the latest 1UP Yours podcast.

WTH? :shock:

I understand it might not be great...but 57,000 units? If true, do you guys understand how much money would have been lost on this project? :shock:

I can't even imagine the level of disappointment experienced on any level (devs, marketing team, artists, engineers, project leaders, Factor 5 owners, Sony) that would go with 57,000 units sold.

Unbelievable.

well i can understand why it didnt sell well* looks at the review*

Seriously, you dont expect a bogus american game to sell well. Leisure Suit Larry, Street Shift, Godai barely sold any units.

Dreams-Visions

eh, i remember seeing a 90,000 on Vgchartz..

Isn't that an attach rate of over 50%???

J/K:P

But seriously, yeah that's pretty terrible.

its a crime that warhawk is arpound teh same amrker as lair.i think hs just sold badly because most peopel rented it knowing it was short.k-diddy66

That's what they get for making an awful game.

Hopefully they'll make sure their next effort is good.

Crap games get crap sales. *looks at icon*FusionApex

Yeah i heard it sold good. Doesnt deserve it.

Not for $60, they can kiss my A^^ if they think people are that stupid.

Heavenly Sword has also sold only like 300k units.. both have flopped terriblyFantasySports00

57,000 X $60 = $3,420,000

Doesnt sound like a flop to me, but I don't know how much they spent making the game

What do you mean am I kidding, you cant say 3,420,000 isnt a lot of money. Besides, i said I didn't know how much they spent making it.

Well look at this weekly Vg Charts http://vgchartz.com/aweekly.php

Folklore open at number 20 with only 28k

heavenly Sword already has falling to number 44 in th charts selling only a total of 222K. HS is another huge PS3 game.

PS3's highest ranked game is number 16 Fifa 33k sold but the PS2 and 360's version of Fifa are both ranked higher.

PS3 games just do not sell that well.

360 has 4 games in the top 10 and the Wii with 2 games and PS3 none

All costs included, very, very few games cost 30 million dollars. Cut that down to 250,000 copies, and I would probably agree with you.

Seriously, you dont expect a bogus american game to sell well.

Lair deserves poor sales. Just like every other bad game in existance.

By the way, where is your ass grind gif, Dreams?

Third party developers aren't going to take Playstation 3 seriously with losses like that.

A PS3 game with the kind of graphics in Lair cost upwards of 10 million.

Yeah! They can profit off of crappy games elsewhere!
